[edit]Documents recall a church of this name from 1304,[1] but the building dates from the 15th century with a refurbishment in the 17th century. The main portal dates from 1639. The church contains a 17th-century canvas with the titular saints, showing the contemporary town and castle in the background. On the counter-facade is a Madonna del Rosario from the 1500s by Ascanio Magnanini.[2][3]
